I want to reiterate: I am not a fan of ICP. I just happen to find the Miracles video hilarious. That said, that song is not the first time they have created shitty lyrics. [Buzzfeed]

Loved the Brooks Laich story.

What a really, really nice guy. That just reinforces my belief that hockey players tend to be normal average guys with probably one of the best jobs in the world.

And I think I’m making some fucking stir fried sesame beef for dinner. That site’s fantastic.

Reporter: There`s a "stamp out the Beatles movement" underway in Detroit. What are you going to do about it?

That story

about the Bobby Orr sculpture was great.
Even though it came against the Blues, that photo is one of the most recognizable, iconic hockey photos.
It’s great to have such a wonderful artist in our community.
